Heinberg reveals 'Young Avengers' sequel

Allan Heinberg has announced the follow-up to his Young Avengers series.

Speaking on video at the Cup O' Joe panel at the first Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo, Heinberg revealed that his long-awaited return to the series would be called Avengers: The Children's Crusade.

The Grey's Anatomy writer will be reunited with original Young Avengers artist Jimmy Cheung for the bi-monthly, nine-issue miniseries.

The series will build on the events of House of M, with Young Avenger Wiccan on a quest to find and redeem the Scarlet Witch.

Heinberg promised that Wiccan will finally succeed in discovering the long-absent character in a story that will feature all of the original Young Avengers as well as members of the other Avengers teams.
